When it comes to famous celebrations in cricket, there are few which are quite iconic. From Imran Tahir’s ‘sprint’ to Stuart Broad’s ‘celebrappeal’, we have quite a few iconic ones in world cricket right now. The bowlers have come up with unique ways to stand out from others and someone who has managed to stand out from others in this aspect is Pakistan cricketer Hasan Ali.
The 27-year-old is widely known for his ‘bomb explosion’ celebration which he performs every time he picks up a wicket. The fans got to witness Ali’s trademark moves quite a few times at Lord’s on Saturday as the pacer scalped an incredible five-wicket haul against England. He bowled a beauty to dismiss John Simpson before producing his explosive celebration.

Hasan Ali has his celebration symbol on neck chain
After finishing with figures of 5/51, Hasan Ali was talking to the presenters in the mid-innings break about his brilliant spell of bowling. This is when a Twitter user pointed out that the chain Ali was wearing around his neck had his trademark ‘bomb explosion’ celebration symbol attached to it.

The pacer had earlier also claimed that he loves performing his iconic celebration as it gives him energy to do well and it is no surprise to see Ali taking his unique identity to a whole new level by wearing it while bowling.
